Richard Gough Enters The Fray

Former Rangers captain Richard Gough has expressed an interest in the managerial post at Morton, with DDF Rae willing to give him an interview. Being in the mid-forties age bracket and heavily experienced in the game, he brings with him the qualities that Rae is looking for. His time in the US with the San Jose Earthquakes may have given him a taste of the modern training techniques that Rae is so eager to bring to the club.

News of this new front-runner's application has been welcomed by some fans, damned with faint praise by others, and outright rejected as "The New Dave McPherson" by others. Opinion is split between those who believe he will bring a fresh approach, a wealth of experience and instant respect to a beleaguered team, and those who think he's just another Old Firm muppet looking to use a wee team as a stepping stone. Only time will tell.
